Overview
- Carter Bryant, a 6-foot-7 freshman from Riverside, California, was chosen 14th overall after averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and shooting 37.1% from three-point range for Arizona.
- Bryant earned McDonald’s All-American honors following a senior season at Centennial High School in Corona and prior standout performances at Sage Hill and Fountain Valley.
- He projects as a modern '3-and-D' wing whose ability to switch defensively should boost San Antonio’s perimeter defense.
- Bryant’s basketball lineage includes father D’Cean and uncle Travon Bryant, both former professional players, and his grandfather Mike “Doc” Torres, a USA Deaf Basketball Hall of Famer.
- His addition builds on a young core led by Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle under new coach Mitch Johnson as the Spurs begin a roster rebuild.
